It takes me hours or days (on and off) to complete a large ascii-image. Small ones like the snowman i can do in a few minutes though The point is not everybody makes ascii fast , some are slow , slower then you too. Don't worry about it ! It's not about how much art you make , but how good it is and how much YOU enjoy it. Make art for your own enjoyment and in your own pace and have fun sharing it with others here .. THAT is what this group is all about. There is no pressure on you from us. > so if I were expected to put a new ascii > art pic into every message, I just wouldn't be able to post. Thats just it .. you aren't expected to post a new piece of art in every message. I think you take the obligatory part of the OBascii a little to serious. It's just a nice thing to do when you want a thread to become more on-topic again or you simply have an idea for a quick doddle. > It's unfair.

If you want to give the people something to look at repost the images in new threads where they can find them .. and make it somehow fit the season or current worldsituation .. christmas pictures can stand being reposted around christmastime f.x , but normally recaps of old art is what we have webpages for. > > Obascii: > > (Snowman with large hat) > > ______ > > * \ / * * > > ._)__(_. * > > ( .. ) * * > > * \_>/ * > > * / . \ * > > ( . ) * > > _*_\____/_CJ____*__ > > > > Very nice. Thankyou :) I just got an idea for a simplistic hat .. and then when that was done I decide to try for a simplistic head .. from there I thought .. hey it's christmas .. make a snowman! Besides .. snowmen don't have legs or arms or fingers or any of the hard things to do. It took me no longer to make than the post I originally wrote. The point is you don't have to make a masterpiece .. just draw something simple and the rest will usually come to you through divine inspiration when you are doing it , or through someone elses diddles. Let me try another one : Obascii : err let me see .. a pot ! . _ )(/ (__) It also looks a little like Nerdboy on the toilet. diddle : Nerdboy in wheelchair o )/ (o) This part also looks like a parots head : )/ (o) let me try the parrot diddle _ )/ / \ (o)_(___) \_______\ OK I failed at the but it's a cute snail You can try to make the parrot
